Chapter 9 Configuring On iSeries As An IPDS Printer

NOTE: The lines in bold in Figure 31 are not used by PSF. Instead, PSF uses the information entered in the device description screen.

3.The following parameters are recommended:

a.PSF configuration (PSFCFG)

The name used for this PSF configuration object. The name must match the user-defined object name (USRDFNOBJ) in the printer DEVD.

b.IPDS pass through (IPDSPASTHR)

To print SCS files, specify *YES, PSF transforms SCS into IPDS before printing.

c.Activate release timer (ACTRLSTMR)

Specifies the point at which the release timer (RLSTMR) is activated. Set to *NORDYF.

d.Release timer (RLSTMR)

Specifies the amount of time to wait before a session or dialog is released without terminating the writer. The ACTRLSTMR parameter specifies when this timer is to be activated. Set the parameter to a value at least equal to the TIMEOUT value on the printer. The recommended value is

*SEC15.

e.Page Size Control (PAGSIZCTL)

Specifies if the page size (FORMS) is set by PSF/400. Usually set to *YES.
